Under the Task Manager, are you looking at the CPU usage under Processes, or under Performance? My four cores show the load being at 25 but they're all pegged out at 100 under the Performance tab.

*grin* Yeah.. it's an "interesting" product with only a few possible uses. We have a 1U server with 1HD and this might allow me to put in another. I was thinking of using a Flexible PCI Riser Cable and then suspend the 2.5" drive. I was just curious if anyone else had played around with this thing.

Has anyone tried these out yet?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147058 I just transfered an old, and friggin loud, dual MP Alienware workstation into this case and I'm very happy with it. Dual MP 2000, 4 HDs, DVD+RW, Quadro4 900XGL. It has some foibles, but it works out well with the two 12cm Noctuas I tos...

There was a mention of that in the linked thread: "So it would seem rotating heatsink 180 degrees (even if you might be able to construct a duct) doesn't seem like a very good idea." You might be able to duct it, but you'll probably be better off trying something a bit more conventional to passively...

Some people've had luck with the SILVERSTONE NT01 V2 . I have it in my Antec NSK2400 and I'm very happy with it; the heatsink itself sits about 2mm away from one of the case fans. I guess it's usefullness will depend greatly on your MB layout. I have an Intel DG965OT in my system. Here's the setup i...

Have you tried testing with the fans set in both configurations?

*chuckle* Of course pluging in cables would be... interesting.

Sweet!

Hey.. I wonder if a riser card would help with your video card problem.

Without a huge CPU heatsink in the way, the GPU heatsink would be closer to the other exhaust fan and you could use the lid; you'd have to support that beast though.

Yeah. This heat sink looks like a good compliment to the mobo and case! I hope the stuff surrounding the CPU still gets enough cooling though. Hrmm... I wonder if you could run those two fans in serial ? Um.. yeah. That's a lot of video card for this case; kinda like putting a V8 in a VW Karmann Ghi...

Which video card? I'm going to stick to the onboard video for a bit. I've been looking at the Gainward BLISS 7600GT Silent FX, though I'm not sure when it'll be available.

Sweet. This is the same setup that I'm looking at; waiting for a HD to come in though. Bicster, have you tried any other heatsinks before this one?

Would it be possible to install a fan under the fins on either the SI-120 or SI-128?

Sunbeam Theta TP 101? Up to 8 fans, software control, USB.

I've been looking at these three heatsinks for my CD2 setup which I'm collecting parts for: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ttnpcpucofor.html http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835200013 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185018 I bought the TTIC NPH-775-1 a...

Have you received that mobo yet? I was curious how well the Corsair memory was working on that board? I'm planning on purchasing the same board and noticed that Intel specs 1.8v RAM only; the Corsair XMS2-6400 is from 1.9v to 2.1v.
